Working with the Fire Alarm Control Panel and the Configurator

watchdog jumper must be closed. If you are experiencing problems, for example if the system

does not restart properly, make sure that the watchdog jumper is closed.

Watchdog jumpers are labeled as follows:

• MMX-2000N series panels: JW4

• ANC-5000 Audio Network Controller Board: JW5

• RAXN-LCD Network Remote Annunciator Panel: JW2

• ALCN-792M Quad Loop Adder Module: JW2
